I don’t know what I like so much about Babylon Mystery Orchestra, but I like it a lot. The vocals are deep and almost growled, but not death metal style. While they are unusual, somehow they really get under your skin. The music is hard edged and either proggy metal or metallic prog. I include it under progressive rock, but it could just as easily fit in heavy metal. This is dark and deep stuff. It is also awesome. I loved the previous one, and I love this album, too. It’s highly recommended for those with a sense of musical adventure.
